The Challenge

A 12,000 sq.ft research facility located on the Hirwaun industrial estate in South Wales required a supplier on the Access Broadband Cymru scheme to dramatically improve their internet connection. The facility had a download speed of only 2Mbps. A superfast internet connection of over 30Mbps was required throughout the premises.

The research company wanted a supplier that was listed on the Access Broadband Cymru scheme, which meant they were able to receive an £800 grant to cover the following costs:

– Set up & survey

– Installation fees

– Equipment

Due to the remote nature of the business, fibre and a leased line were not suitable options. However SimRush would provide a business class solution with superfast speeds at an affordable price point. Installation could be carried out in a matter of days too.

The Solution

Although the estate generally struggles to receive a discernible mobile signal, after completing a desktop survey it was determined that the Hirwaun industrial estate could receive a superfast 4G LTE connection and SimRush would be perfect for their needs.

As SimRush is specifically designed for complex business needs, a SimRush One model was recommended. This would give the research facility connectivity throughout the premises and also act as a controller for the WiFi.

With an EE 4G data SIM obtained through the FreeClix store, the monthly data SIM deal was at a fantastic price point and on a 24 month contract. SimRush installation was completed in just a few hours, which meant minimal interference with the company’s research.

The Result
